Curriculum for the Bachelor’s Program

Electrical Engineering

Curriculum 2006

This curriculum was approved by the Curricula Committee of Graz University of Technology in the session on 7 April 2006.

On the basis of the Universities Organization and Studies Act (UG 2002), Austrian Federal Law Gazette No. 120/2002 in its current version, the Senate of Graz University of Technology issues the following curriculum for the Electrical Engineering bachelor’s program.

§ 1 General Information

The Electrical Engineering bachelor’s program is comprised of 6 semesters and is

divided into 2 stages of study. There is a total of 180 ECTS credits in the program.

Graduates receive a “Bachelor of Science”, abbreviated “BSc”.

§ 2 Qualification Profile

The bachelor’s program aims at an education and training in accordance with the job

description of electrical engineers. Completion of the bachelor’s program is a first

milestone for this, which provides the educational and technological basis for getting

a job in various career paths. The description that follows is result-oriented and

specifies concrete activities or knowledge that an averagely talented and motivated

person is able to do or apply after completing this study program.

Scientific Knowledge and Capabilities

Graduates of this bachelor’s program understand the scientific fundamentals and

methods of electrical engineering and can apply them. In this way the

(2)

pre-professional education and training is basically provided in order to be able to work in

fields that rely on electrical engineering and information technology applications and

services.

After the bachelor’s program, graduates have a good grasp of fundamental scientific

knowledge, especially in the fields of mathematics, physics and chemistry. In

addition, students are in the position to model and evaluate complex systems that are

directed towards electrical engineering tasks and applications.

The bachelor’s program puts students in the position to continue in a relevant

master’s program or to begin a different master’s program with the appropriate

additional qualification.

Graduates of the bachelor’s program are in the position to understand and identify

basic contexts of business administration and economics and to apply them to

concrete tasks. By practically applying their knowledge and the resulting

self-awareness, graduates can present and represent technical contexts and

circumstances effectively and appropriately.

Lectures on the subject and the students’ opportunity to take free elective courses

puts graduates of the bachelor’s program in the position to orient themselves with

regard to the contexts of engineering and philosophy and carry out the evaluation of

electrical engineering as an essential social element.

(3)

According to the European Credit and Accumulation Transfer System, the individual

courses are allocated ECTS credits which describe the relative share of the

workload. The workload of one academic year is 60 ECTS credits.

§ 4 Structure of the Program

The first stage of study

(orientation year)

contains courses with an introductory

character and comprises all the courses of the first and second semesters with the

exception of the “Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, Laboratory Exercises” and

“Technical Reports / Presentation” courses which are assigned to the second stage

of study. The courses that are part of the first stage of study are indicated by an * in

the first column of the table in § 5.

Successful completion of the first stage of study is certified when all the examinations

of the first stage of study have been successfully completed.

For courses of the first stage of study (orientation year), students are to be offered

the opportunity to sit the examination after the course has ended at least twice within

the first academic year.

The second stage of study contains courses with a concentration character and is

comprised of all the courses of the 3

rd

to the 6

th

semesters as well as courses of the

first and second semester provided they are not counted as part of the first stage of

study. All of the courses from one of the following four subject area catalogs also

count towards the second stage of study

• Automation Engineering and Mechatronics

• Power

Engineering

• Information and Communications Technology

• Microelectronics

and

Circuit Engineering.

The individual courses of this bachelor’s program are listed in § 5. The arrangement

of them into particular semesters is a recommendation and guarantees that the

sequence of courses is optimally based on previous knowledge and that the yearly

workload of 60 ECTS credits is not exceeded. The orientation phase of the program

is comprised of introductory and orientation courses according to § 66 UG 2002,

which are indicated by (op). A bachelor’s essay according to § 80 UG 2002 has to be

written in both the “Electrical Engineering/Information Technology Seminar“ and the

“Electrical Engineering/Information Technology Project“ courses.

§ 5b Free Elective Courses

Free elective courses in the Electrical Engineering bachelor's program serve the

purpose of setting individual focuses and the further development of students. They

can be freely chosen from the courses offered at any recognized domestic or foreign

university. The free elective courses are not assigned to a particular stage of study,

but it is recommended to distribute them over the entire course of the study program.

On average, each semester hour (SH) of a free elective course is worth 1 ECTS

credit.

§ 6 Admission Requirements for Examinations

Starting in the 3

rd

semester, lecture course examinations and starting in the 4

th

semester courses with an immanent examination character can only be taken once

the first stage of study has been successfully completed.

§ 7 Examination Regulations

Courses are assessed individually. Bachelor's essays are written and assessed as

part of courses.

1. Examinations on courses held in the form of lectures (VO) have to cover the

entire content of the course.

2. The assessment of courses held in the form of lectures with integrated

practical exercises (VU), practical exercises (UE), projects (PR) and seminars

(SE) takes place continually on the basis of contributions by the students

and/or by accompanying tests.

3. Successful completion of examinations is assessed with “sehr gut” (very good,

1), “gut” (good, 2), “befriedigend” (satisfactory, 3) or “genügend” (sufficient, 4),

whereas a negative result is given a “nicht genügend” (insufficient, 5).

Specially indicated courses are assessed with “mit Erfolg teilgenommen” (with

successful participation) or with “ohne Erfolg teilgenommen” (with

unsuccessful participation).

The types of courses are explained in Part 3 of the Appendix.

In addition to the types of courses, the following maximum group sizes are set down:

1. The maximum group size for practical exercises (UE) and the practical

(8)

2. The maximum group size for projects (PR) and seminars (SE) is 6 or 15.

3. The maximum group size for laboratory exercises (LU) is 6.

Places in the individual courses are given out according to the guidelines in Part 3 of

the Appendix.

§ 8 Interim Regulations

According to the version of the curriculum which was published in the TU Graz

information newsletter (

Mitteilungsblatt

) on June 30, 2005, degree students, who

have started the Electrical Engineering program before this curriculum comes into

effect (October 1, 2006), are entitled to continue and finish their studies within the

legal duration of studies plus an additional semester per stage of study (a total of 13

semesters). This means students have to complete the study program by the end of

winter semester 2012/13. If the program is not completed within the specified time,

students must automatically pursue their further studies according to the new

curriculum.

Students are entitled to adopt the curriculum of the Electrical Engineering bachelor’s

program voluntarily at any time. A written, irrevocable declaration on this matter has

to be addressed to the Central Administration (Registration Office) within the

Part 2 of the Appendix:

Recommended Free Elective Courses

Free elective courses can be freely chosen from the courses offered at any

recognized domestic or foreign university according to § 5b of this curriculum.

Free elective courses are recommended for the orientation year, which should

balance out any lack of knowledge or ability due to differences in the previous

knowledge of students.

Besides other engineering/scientific subjects, courses on the following topics are

recommended in order to broaden the knowledge base of students in the subjects of

this curriculum:

Foreign languages, key competences (soft skills), law and

Part 3 of the Appendix:

Types of Courses

(according to the guideline on types of courses of the Curricula Committee of

the Senate of Graz University of Technology on 10 January, 2005)

1. Lecture type courses: VO, VU

In lecture type courses, students are given a didactically well-structured

introduction to the sub-areas of the subject and its methods. Assessment takes

place by examinations that are written, oral, written

and

oral as well as oral

or

written depending upon the examiner's choice. The examination procedure has to

be defined in the course description.

a. VO

In lectures (VO), the content and methods of the subject are presented.

b. VU

Lectures with practical exercises (VU) offer instructions on how to acquire

knowledge independently or how to apply it independently in examples in

addition to an introduction to the sub-areas of the subject and its methods. The

ratio of lectures to exercises is to be set down in the curriculum. The courses

have an immanent examination character.

2. Seminar type courses: SE

Seminar type courses promote scientific work and discussion and should be an

introduction to the discursive and argumentative process of the subject. Students

are required to submit written work and/or give an oral presentation as well as

participate in the critical discussion. Seminars are courses with an immanent

examination character. They serve to present scientific methods, work out and

critically assess one's own results as well as specific topics of the scientific

literature and to practice having a technical discussion.

3. Practical exercise type of courses: UE, LU, PR

In practical exercises, abilities and skills are developed as part of the

pre-professional education and training in order to consolidate and/or expand the

material that was presented in the corresponding lectures by means of practical,

experimental, theoretical and/or design work. Practical exercises are courses with

an immanent examination character. The maximum group size is set down in the

curriculum or determined by the Dean of Studies. Special consideration has to be

given to the necessary room and equipment.

The curriculum can make the successful completion of the practical exercise a

prerequisite for registration for the corresponding lecture examination.

a. UE

In practical exercises, the students are trained to use their capabilities to solve

practical problems.
